Mitsubishi Voiding Warranties at Race Track?

Is it true that peoples warranties have got voided by participating at race track events? or autox events?

I'd like to take my car to the track to see what i run. But my friend is telling me seometimes sends people there to get peoples warranties voided.

Any insight will be appriciated. and if this is true is there anything you can do to get around it? i.e take your lisence plate off when your about to race? or autox?

okay, tape up all VIN numbers, on door,dash, even engine bay.

Take your license plates off and throw them in your trunk. Never open your trunk.

but yeah, SCCA events can be queried and checked...if you're just going on a cash based track session...then you'll be cool.
